Five Favorites - Vol. 2

2. These are my new favorite things. I got a couple and love how they feel and how long they last!

3. I saw this prayer on a blog a few days ago and need to read it daily:

Disturb us, Lord, when we are too well pleased with ourselves,When our dreams have come
trueBecause we have dreamed too
little,When we arrived safelyBecause we sailed too close
to the shore.

Disturb us, Lord, when
With the abundance of things we possess
We have lost our thirst
For the waters of life;
Having fallen in love with life,
We have ceased to dream of eternity
And in our efforts to build a new earth,
We have allowed our vision
Of the new Heaven to dim.

Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly,
To venture on wider seas
Where storms will show your mastery;
Where losing sight of land,
We shall find the stars.
We ask You to push back
The horizons of our hopes;
And to push into the future
In strength, courage, hope, and love.

This we ask in the name of our Captain,
Who is Jesus Christ.
– Sir Francis Drake

4. Favorite new (to me) magazine. It celebrates the small, yet important aspects of life.

5. And, what's a post without a little food?!! I made these for the kiddos this week (thank you, Becca).

Instead of crescent rolls, I used Rhodes frozen rolls. And, I added a piece of turkey lunch meat. Plus, I found pizza flavored string cheese (really good). I froze most of them for easy, fast meals. Win-win.

You definitely should check it out - it celebrates what so many moms are all about and is beautiful! I can't recommend the NARS more - LOVE it! I just looked at your blog and will be following it. So fun!
